I’m so incredibly proud of my hometown’s reaction to this insidious, hateful nonsense. And the meeting held in the gym of my high school, no less. 😁.

I will go to the grave defending the value of universities, deep thinking, asking big questions. But. Colleagues. Erase the phrase ā€œI don’t care. I have tenure.ā€ from your mouth. You sound like a dilettante. Lots of people work harder for less. Hush.

The @IPCC_CH released the final Synthesis Report today, a labour of love and curiosity and overwhelming urgency - written by hundreds of scientists, weaving together the work of thousands more. (deep thanks to @KHayhoe for the fantastic summary).

Yesterday I picked up a sci fi novel that I used to be obsessed with as a teen, only to discover that I ended up marrying a man who is virtually identical to the protagonist’s love interest. Be careful what you read, kids.
